ABOUT ALESSANDRA (ALE) 

 

Multi awarded Italian Production Designer and Art Director based in Los Angeles.

 

During my 15-year tenure in Italy, I refined my expertise as an Art Director and marketing professional, partnering with numerous prestigious brands. My portfolio spans a diverse spectrum of creative endeavors: from photo shoots and artistic installations to exhibition design, video production, and comprehensive advertising campaigns. I consistently contributed to Milan Design Week projects annually, demonstrating my commitment to cutting-edge design. My comprehensive approach encompassed every phase of the creative journey—from initial concept development and budget management to production oversight and creative direction

​

In 2016, I launched my career in Los Angeles, immersing myself in the film industry. I established myself as a Production Designer and Art Director, bringing creative vision to movies, music videos, TV series, and theatrical productions. Recently, I've expanded into co-producing feature films—a natural evolution that allows me to embrace all aspects of filmmaking, which continues to be my true passion
